The Pet Industry Federation has announced an impressive line-up of confirmed companies that will be involved in its Business of Pets conference. 

The Business of Pets is a new event designed to help pet businesses take that vital step to the next level. It will take place over two days on Wednesday 7 June and Thursday 8 June at the purpose-built Cranfield Management Development Centre near Milton Keynes and will have a full itinerary of inspirational and insightful speakers. An Evening Social BBQ will take place after the first day to allow for relaxed networking.

Companies confirmed to take part in the conference include Kantar, Serjeants, Innovate UK Edge, Natwest Accelerator, British Business Bank, SFC Capital, Piper, Cliverton, Sprintlaw and Watersheds. Delegates in attendance will gain advice and guidance from professionals who are experts in their area to help them ensure their best chance of success when growing. Attendees will also hear from pet businesses who have successfully taken the leap to the next step and who will be sharing their experiences.

A key element of this new conference is the Innovation of the Year Award, which will see the ten finalists presenting their innovation at the event, giving them unprecedented access to potential investors. The winner will be chosen on the final day of the event.

Nigel Baker, CEO of PIF, commented: “We are delighted with the calibre of companies we have secured for our inaugural Business of Pets conference. The event has been created for pet businesses who want to take their business to the next level but don’t have either the time, finance or support structure to enable them to do so. These two days of learning and networking will prove invaluable for the business owners, directors and decision makers who attend.”
